== Price Multiplier ==
 +
If you want to mark your prices up or down or need currency conversion you can add a multiplier to your prices, add a '''*''' followed by the multiplier number in the "Multiplier" field
  
'''Multiple Rate Ids using Rates'''
+
Examples:
 +
*'''*1.23''' will multiply all prices by 1.23  (i.e. raised by 23%).
 +
*Lower prices can be sent with a multiplier less than 1: '''*0.85''' will send 85% of the normal price (i.e. lowered by 15%).
 +
*To convert the price of bookings imported from the channel add a '''*''' AFTER the multiplier. '''*1.23*''' will divide the price of the booking by 1.23.
 +
*For currency conversion you can also use currency conversion template variables. All currencies supported by the booking page currency selector can be used.
 +
**'''*[CONVERT:IDR-EUR]''' will convert Indonesian Rupees to Euros.
  
Each Beds24 rate can be mapped to any valid tomas rate plan id that is active and not derived or linked. On the CHANNEL tab of each Beds24 rate is a setting to enter an tomas rate plan id.
+
== Updates ==
If this setting is left blank, the rate plan id defined in the Beds24 channel manager settings for tomas will be used.
+
Changes to availability and prices will be instantly sent to the channel. Changes for settings for example minimum stays, or quantity of rooms will send with the next update. Click on "Update" if you want to push them through instantly.
If the Beds24 rate should be mapped to an alternative tomas rate plan id, enter the tomas rate plan id here.

'''Multiple Rate Ids using Offers or Daily Prices'''
 
 
 
Beds24 supports up to four price "offers" for each room.
 
Each of the four offers can be mapped to a different tomas rate plan id.
 
This is particularly useful when mapping daily prices to tomas.
 
 
 
To define the tomas rate plan id for each offer, separate the rate plan ids with colons.
 
For example the following Beds24 rate plan id setting will map offer 1 to rate plan id 11111, offer 2 to rate plan id 22222, offer 3 to rate plan id 33333 and offer 4 to rate plan id 44444:
 
 
 
'''11111:22222:33333:4444'''
 
 
 
If offer 1 is used only for the Beds24 booking page and only offers 2,3 and 4 are used for tomas leave the first rate plan id blank and start with a colon.
 
For example ''':22222:33333:44444'''
 
 
 
The settings for daily prices allow each daily price row to be assigned to a specific offer and therefore mappable to different tomas rate plan ids
 
 
 
 
 
'''Same Price to Multiple Rate Plan Ids'''
 
 
 
If a Beds24 price should be sent to multiple tomas rate plan ids, the multiple rate plan ids can be entered with a comma separating them.  
 
For example ''''12345678,123456789'''
 
 
 
This can be used to allow a daily price set to "Do not allow lower prices" to override multiple tomas rate plan ids.
 
If the comma separated rate plan ids are defined in the channel manager rate plan id setting and each individual Beds24 rate contains it's specific tomas rate plan id, each rate will be mapped to it's rate plan id and daily prices will be mapped to all the specified rate plan ids, over-riding the rate price when appropriate.
 
 
 
=== Price Multiplier ===
 
If you want to add a multiplier to your prices, for example because of a different currency to your Beds24 currency, add a * followed by the multiplier number to your hotel Id.
 
 
 
For example a property code setting 123456*12.34 will multiply all prices by 12.34 sent for hotel id 123456.
